The power of a compliment

Those who’ve known me for a while know that I have a hard time accepting a compliment. I’m better than I have been, but I still have to work hard at not negating the compliment being given.

I’ve been working on a commissioned design for the last couple months. This weekend I attended the KW Knitter’s Fair, where I got to show it to the commissioner. Other people at the booth got to see it as well. Everyone was impressed and complimented me on it. One women got to try it on and that’s when people really liked it.

For me it was amazing seeing how well it was received and also seeing the finished piece on someone else. It really brought the design to life for me in a way that it hadn’t been before.

Now I’m stoked to get the photography sample for the pattern done!

Getting all that positive feedback this weekend is helping get this pattern through the home stretch. The hardest work has been done, now it’s doing all the last fiddly bits to get it ready for sale.

Thank you to everyone who gave me a compliment on this piece this weekend. It means a lot to me that you appreciated my work.

A little colour on a grey day

skeinIt’s a quiet, grey day here in Guelph. It hasn’t rained yet this morning, but it’s coming soon.

It’s been a couple busy weeks since the last post.

I’ve finished my spinning certificate class and had a blast with it. Last week was spent getting my homework in order and working on a commissioned pattern. That  pattern is coming along very nicely. I just have a few tweaks left and then it’s off to the test knitter this Friday. I’ll be getting the yarn for the pattern sample soon and I’m really excited to start working with it. It’s a new yarn to me and looks and feels amazing.

I thought I would post some pictures of the dye experiments we did in my spinning class. This year was dyeing with fibre reactive dyes and creative dyeing techniques. These were all a blast to do, but it got pretty hectic having twenty people all dyeing at the same time. We managed and thankfully no spills or accidents.
